Dcspito severe sentences being meted out in cases coming before tho military courts, the reign of violence continues in various forms and in various sec¬ tions of tbo country. Tlie.latest Jewish fatality was Chaim Berger, a 26-year old immigrant from Hungary, who hud been serving as a supernumerary nt Tiherias. Berger and another guard on nigiit duty were attaclied from ambush by seven armed Arabs. Ber¬ ger died soon after he was shot; his companion managed to escape from the gang, after tho rifles of both had been .reined.
Another casualty of terrorism is Dliahu Giladi, 25 year old, a veter¬ an member of H&mat Kachel, the co-opcriitivo colony ju,st outside Jerusalem. Four shots wero fired at Giladi as he was walking be¬ yond Talpioth, Jewish residential quarter of tho city. Doctors re¬ gard his wounds as serious.

NEW YORK (WNS)—Warning that the "fulfilment of the ideal of democracy in its every phase— politic.ll, social nnd, economic," cannot become a reality in every phajie of lite "wliile movements are being pl.inned to drive .Jewry from tho land or to porsccuto tho Catho- lie or the Mennonite,'' Governor Frank Muiphy of Michigan, etar- tled tho 1,000 delegates attending tho two-day national conference celebrating the 60th anniversary of Ycihiva College by disclosing that just a \veefc ago a mid-Wcn- torn- new.-ip.iper headlined the news that a new organization was {iro- cceding with plans to "drive Jew¬ ry out ot tho nation." Without naming the paper, Governor Mur¬ phy, who is a Catholic, said that tlie organization planned "to sub¬ jugate the entire race," eliminate ,Icw3 from schools and puWic of¬ fice and segregate thom in 48 spe¬ cially created ghetto ureas, ono for each city.

Conceding that "wc are still troubled by many
differences, by forms of discritnl- nation, by frequent denial of lib¬ erties and by insecurity ot income," Governor Mui-phy said "wo can ill afford to jeopardize the security of this democracy, such an .it in, by resorting to tlio facile methods \fit oppression and coercion in our cirorta to correct tho nation's ills." Emphasizing that Christian and Jew have in common the goal of realizing democracy in its every phase, tha MiehiBau governor antd it can be realized only "if wo do our best to minimize sectarian and racial barriers; if, in tho faith of Roger Williams, wo judge each citi¬ zen by his character and ability rather than by his theological creed; if in our social life we sin¬ cerely try to oeo through our neighbor's eyes ond ao to grasp ' his point ot view; If wo remind the Christian that Christ nnd His Apostles were loyal Jews and never abandoned their ancestral faith; if wo remind the Jew, in turn, that tho most influential Jew in history is the Man 6f Galilee; and it we kcop constantly before us this precept of both Judaism and Christianity; 'Thou Shalt love tho Lord thy God v;ith all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all |t'iy mind; thou shnlt love thy neigh¬ bor 03 thyself."'
